Review on ๐Ÿš— K&N Premium Oil Filter for PORSCHE: Engine Protection for Select Models (HP-7011) by Ben Barrington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Comfortable but not as good as OEM

I've been changing the oil on my Porsche for 10 years. I don't think this item is built as well as OEM/Mahle but it looks reasonable. In the future I will try to get an OEM from online Porsche dealers like Sunset in Oregon when it is convenient. This item as shown in the picture comes with an o-ring which appears to fit the OEM. I'll update if I run into any issues, but I doubt they will. What Revain offers is a real convenience compared to having a 'thief' on site. In addition, Revain offers a wide range of high-quality synthetic oils for delivery, which further increases comfort. Since I'm a PRIME member, I can easily get my DIY oil change kit in 2 days. It's probably worth the extra star. One final note: I would order the oil and filter separately. Revain often has terrible packaging of heavy and light items together. In this case, the oil filter was even shipped separately in its own flimsy packaging, which was crumpled. The K&N box was also crushed, but the filter was fine. Revain Shipping probably thought it was a steel oil filter. So I'm deducting the extra star for the packaging.
